BRICKWALL AND BUILDING OF SAME.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. '7, 1919.

Application filed January 4, 1918. Serial No. 210,358.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN ERIKssoN, a of Sweden, residing atDjursholms-Osby, Sweden, have invented new and useful Improvements inBrickwalls and Buildings of Same, of which the following is aspecification.

' The present invention relates to the building by means of bricks ofthe usual dimensions of stable and heat insulating walls with good bondsand with a less consumption of material than at the usual building ofwalls.

In the accompanying drawing a wall built according to the presentinvention is illustrated in a side view in Figure 1, in a verticalsection in Fig. 2, in a horizontal sec tion on the line 1-2 of Fig. 2 inFig. 3, and in a horizontal section on the line 3-4 of Fig. 2 in Fig. 4.

According to the invention the wall consists of courses formed by seriesof two horizontal bricks placed abreast of one another across the wall,and eventually connected by joints of mortar, alternating with otherformed by three bricks placed on the edge and separated by interspaces aof the same or about the same width, which suitably may be unfilled forincreasing the heat insulating capacity of the wall, but may also all orsome be filled with mortar or beton, if the wall shall-support anyspecial load, and for that reason must possess a great solidity, whileits heat insulating faculty is of less importance. The bricks in bothcourses are disposed longitudinally of the wall. The

courses containing two bricks have the outer side edges of the bricksexposed at the faces of the wall and the outer side faces of the outerbricks of the courses containing the three bricks are exposed at thefaces of the wall, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the draw- 111 Tt isevident that such a wall, especially if the interspaces between thebricks are filled only with air, must obtain a great heat insulatingfaculty, because the bricks do not run across the whole wall; it is alsoevident that by this method of building walls good bonds and anessential saving of material are obtained.

Having now particularly described the nature of my invention and themanner of its operation, what I claim is:

A building wall comprising bricks laid horizontally and longitudinallyof the wall in alternate courses of tWos and threes, the coursescontaining two bricks being arranged on their sides with their outerside edges exposed at the faces of the wall, and the courses containingthree bricks being arranged on their edges to provide two longitudinalvoids and to arrange the outer faces.

of the outer bricks at the faces of the wall.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

H. TELANDER, S. MAGNUSSON.
